Flute Solos for Worship, Vol. 2

This flute solo begins with the piano playing a gentle motif of the theme and then joined in with the solo line playing the theme in a straight forward fashion. The theme is now stated in a modified manner while the soloist exudes a moving obbligato line which adds more excitement to the piece. The piece concludes with the latter section of the first section and then settles into a solemn repose.

This is a flute solo that begins in a flowing manner and quickly accelerates to a more technical rendition of the tune creating a delightful atmosphere of this grand old hymn. It is effervescent and uplifting.

The effect of a parade coming and going… using: Jesus Loves The Little Children; Onward Christian Soldiers; I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy

This solo is technically demanding while depicting the content of its title. While it is a provocative title with soul-searching implications, the results of its message produces a great deal of joy- salvation! The themes and embellishments presented here certainly enhances the joyous conclusion of such a concept and then moves to a rather solemn reflection of the wonder of it all.

This solo is plaintive throughout as it begins with a simple melodic motive. The first verse is simply stated in the solo while supported with broken chords in the piano. The second verse is much like the first but the piano not supports the tune with gentle punctuations. The third verse is in the piano while the solo line produces a ebb and repose obbligato- the two line join together in a dramatic cadence and then settles down to a quite repose where the piano continues in a solemn flavor. The final statement in the solo is much like the first where it is joined with moving scale patterns in the piano. The two players sweep upward one last time to then settle down into solemnity.
